CAR LIFE>> FC TIME ATTACK BUILD PROGRESS

Filed under: Builds2010, Carl Jarrett, Colin Jensan, FC3S, Porsche 928, race build, Roll Cage, Time Attack  

It's been too long! I miss you guys... sniff sniff. Life has been busy, lets just say that. However, I DID finally get some major progress done on the car in Jan/Feb. Back in January after I finished most of the prep on the body shell, my buddy Colin Jensan came by my shop and schooled me on the ways of MIG welding. I haven't done any welding since high school, and even then, my experience is very limited. Armed with a small Lincoln Weldpak MIG machine I went to town on the chassis stitch...

Pretty close to being done the cage and all the chassis prep! Took this pic last weekend. I'll post up some real pictures soon, lost my camera charger so this iPhone picture will have to do... - Carl Jarrett

RANDOM SNAP>> TONY'S TIME ATTACK EVO

Filed under: Carl Jarrett, derrick aynaga, Evo, Mitsubishi, Time Attack  

My friend Derrick down in Pheonix sent this to me the other day, Tony Szirka - Evo owner, driver, and founder of UMS Tuning in Mesa AZ is no stranger to DSM tuning. And his experience and passion has culminated in this potent time attack weapon. Keep an eye out for a detailed feature from Derrick as he plans on taking a closer look in between track days as well as a feature on UMS Tuning down in Pheonix. Special thanks to Charles Siritho for this awesome shot! - Carl Jarrett

CAR LIFE>> FC RACE BUILD PART 1.9

Filed under: Carl Jarrett, FC3S, Mazda, race build, RX7, Time Attack  

1.9? Why 1.9? Well I haven't got as much done as I'd like to have, but am still making progress, and am making progress in the planning stages as well. I've been busy prepping the car for a LOT of work in the coming months. Its pretty boring stuff at this stage, so don't say I didn't warn you. I spent almost 2 days crouched inside this beast removing that damn sound deadening. I used chunks of dry ice for the first pass (looked like an old high-school dance in my shop with the...

CAR SPOTLIGHT>> SLICK HOMEBREWED UK MITSU EVO VI

Filed under: car build, Carl Jarrett, Evo, hill climb, Mitsubishi, Time Attack  

I had to share this car with you all, very impressive work went into this Evo VI and it was almost all done by one chap named Clive over in the good ol UK. First off, everything except for the cage, the paint, and the engine mapping was done by Clive himself, who is an Aircraft Engineer by trade, so everything you see below, was done by him in his spare time at home. I was checking out what was going on over at http://www.timeattackforums.com and I came across someone who saw this build-up thread...

RANDOM SNAP>> NEATO EVO TIME ATTACK LIVERY

Filed under: Carl Jarrett, evo 8, livery, Mitsubishi, Time Attack  

Saw this rad looking Evo 8 on www.timeattackforums.com , its a 2003 with a 2.3L stroker engine and GT35 turbo. The livery is an interesting take of urban camo mixed with gloss yellow and black on the rest of the car. - Carl Jarrett

RANDOM SNAP >> BAMF WIDEBODY 8-SERIES ON MK1'S

Filed under: 8-series, BMW month, deep dish, widebody  

This is the nicest looking BMW 8 I've ever seen hands down, just wish I had more/better pictures of it. I love the deep lipped MK Motorsport MK-1's, I sported a set on my 328is. Anyone have any more info on this car? Its been around for a long time, it has a Zeemax widebody kit from what I can tell. - Carl Jarrett

CAR FEATURE>> FERRARI 458

Filed under: Car Feature, Carl Jarrett, Ferrari  

Ferrari just announced thier replacement of the Ferrari F430, the all-new 458 Italia. Set to be launched next year, the new mid-engined Ferrari will sport a new 4.5 litre flat-plane crank V8 as usual, but this time with direct-injection delivering a whopping 562hp at an insane 9000rpm and 398lb-ft of torque, highest revving engine ever for a Ferrari production road car I think. The new direct-injection engine can come mated to Ferrari's new seven speed dual clutch gearbox, I don't know about...

AUTOLIFE>> OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW?

Filed under: Autolife, Carl Jarrett, Cobra, project car, RX7  

Last week I said goodbye to a dear friend, she's gone, thats it, no more.. I spent 3 years of my life building this beast, and drove it for another 2 1/2 years, flogged it on the track a bunch, and generally had a blast, but like all good things, it came to an end. While selling a car is always a tough thing, I did at least get the joy knowing the new owner will take great care of it, and I have never sold anything to anyone so excited in thier life, he's definitely deserving, and I'm...
